What's Happening At Kiwanis

The LaBelle Kiwanis members were given a presentation on March 7th about Child Abuse Prevention by Vanessa Fischel-Healthy Families Program Manager for the Florida Department of Health, Lisa Sands-United Way Manager Hendry/Glades, and Lucinda Kelley - Director, ESE and Student Services for Hendry County Schools.

The speakers also promoted an upcoming event to raise awareness for child abuse prevention; the “Prance for Prevention” 5K event to be held on April 12th.

The Kiwanis Club of LaBelle is sponsoring this event by providing t-shirts to the first 50 participants in the 5K.

In lieu of a registration fee, donations of diapers and/or new children’s socks or sneakers to support our youngest and most vulnerable residents is greatly appreciated.

In order to register for the event, please contact the Department of Health in LaBelle at 863-674-4041 and mention the Prance for Prevention 5k. Please provide your first and last name and t-shirt size.
